HEADLIGHT & WINDSHIELD WIPER SERVICES

• Headlights Replacement - Our technicians can replace your headlight bulbs, service your headlamp system, and explain the different options available for your vehicle (HID and LED lights). In addition to your headlamps, our technicians can also replace brake light bulbs, turn signal bulbs, or any other hard-to-reach automotive light bulb.

• Windshield Wiper Replacement - We will inspect and replace your wiper blades, repair your wiper system, and let you know if you need winter wipers.

 

STANDARD HEADLIGHT SERVICES OFFERED

• Replacing headlight bulbs

• Checking the electrical system: power, fuses, relays, modules, switches, wiring.

• Checking the igniter and other components of HID (or Xenon) headlights

• Headlight aiming to remedy dark spots on the road in front of you.

 

DIFFERENT TYPES OF HEADLIGHTS

• Halogen headlights: Incandescent lights with a tungsten filament surrounded by argon and nitrogen gasses. Halogen bulbs are widely available, inexpensive, and dimmable. They also generate heat, use more energy, and burn out quicker than more advanced headlight technologies.

• High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights: Also called Xenon headlights, for the gas that powers these lights in much the same way neon lights work. HID lights last up to eight times as long as halogen lights, can shine up to twice as brightly, and can illuminate a larger area using less energy.

• LED headlights: LED headlights offer better brightness and coverage than halogen, while using less energy, without the glare of HID.

​

AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF HEADLIGHTS

• Halogen bulbs are designed to last 500-1000 hours on average.

• HID and Xenon lights can last between 2,000-8,000 hours.

• LED lights are designed to last up to 50,000 hours of use.

 

SIGNS YOU SHOULD REPLACE YOUR WINDSHIELD WIPERS

• Dirt, debris, or streaking left behind on the windshield - Your wipers are no longer doing their job of clearing your view of the road.

• The sound of rubber on glass - That squeak, squeal, or whine is the drag of your wiper blades because they're weighed down with debris, or they've become too stiff to glide smoothly across the glass surface.

• Chattering sound - That sound is your wiper blade failing to make full contact with your windshield.

• Visibly peeling or fraying wipers - Replace them now before they scratch your windshield!

 

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU REPLACE YOUR WIPERS

Windshield wipers should be inspected at least every six months and replaced at least once a year.
